G'day,

With a few edits, lglicua (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lglicua/files/)
runs on Kali Linux 2023.3.

The edits are required as the installer and build system work on a
GNU/Linux-distribution-whitelisting model:  A distribution has to be
explicitly named to be supported.

As in other cases, Kali uses Kernel 6 (actually 6.5.0), and Tecgraf's
"tecmake.mak" continues to be limited to Kernels 2-5.  As elsewhere,
lglicua automatically overwrites tecmake.mak for all projects that it
builds, with the edited version supporting Kernel 6, and possibly all
the way to Kernel 9.  [Both the latest IM/CD/IUP release tarballs, as
well as the Subversion-hosted sources, have not been fixed.]

It's notable that Kali is a rolling release, based on Debian Testing, not
Ubuntu.  My quick test took liberties and named its "family" as Ubuntu;
this did not stop the test from completing successfully:  The main
difference is the list of third-party OS libraries needed to compile
and link the sources (e.g. IM requires libpng), and I suspect that
Ubuntu and Debian would, at present, have identical requirements.

cheers,
